I visited my neurologist today and she decided to cut back my dose of Trileptal slowly. She wants to see if the cymbalta will control the TN pain. In four weeks I will be complely off Trileptal and only on Cymbalta.
Pabuddy,
Since I have been taking the cimbalta I haven\'t had any real bad attacks. I still have twinges and must be careful but no bad attacks thank God. My dosage was at 60 then bumped to 120 but being the suborn person that I am I went back to the 60 due to fatigue I was having. I think I drive my doctors crazy at times. It\'s good for them, lets them know we are still people. Just thought I should let you know.
Take care of yourself my friend.
Mike
